Running matlab under NetBSD (which runs the linux version under
emulation) seems to cause problems because /tmp fills up when unwrap
tries to decrypt the binary. This is problematic for large
binaries like matlab, in combination with the fact that most NetBSD
installations use the NetBSD equivalent of tmpfs for /tmp, and thus
it tends to be smaller than it might be under some other OSes.
The correct solution is for unwrap to use /var/tmp rather than /tmp.
This is probably the correct solution for Linux, too.
If this could happen soon that'd be appreciated.
Thanks!

ps: As a temporary solution, I patched unwrap to use a different path to
the decrXXXXX file; that seemed to work fine.
